Welcome to the World of Ghosts, Hauntings and Poltergeists...
The Ohio Paranormal Investigation Network (O.P.I.N.) is a database of personal investigations in conjunction with various reports and documentations on ghosts or other paranormal activity. This website is for informational service only and is based strictly on opinion.

We want to help you! We want your case.
We are currently looking to help those who are encountering situations they feel are attributed to ghosts or other possible paranormal activity. We can help. This is more than a club or hobby for us and we are waiting to help you. We are located near Macedonia, Ohio and are close to Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Summit, Portage and Medina counties. We will be able to investigate these areas very quickly, if you are south of Columbus there may be a waiting period. We will do the best to help everyone.
If you need assistance with a ghost or other paranormal situation please let us know, we will be happy to set you up for an interview or on-site investigation. Feel free to use the the Ghost Help Center page. We are not mere ghost hunters, we are client-centered paranormal investigators. We are here to help you through your situation and not so much concerned about finding "proof" of ghosts, though we hope to gather some data along the way!
Ohio Groups List- Updated July 1, 2009
Is this possible? Yes! After many months of research and investigation into groups in Ohio I have established a new list of currently active groups who investigate client-centered cases in the state of Ohio. Why would I do this? I feel it's important that we all know our neighbors. It's important that we take the time to get to know one another beyond exchanging links. This field is dotted with hundreds of groups that are all finding their own way, why? There is so much knowledge and information that makes up each group (despite what many think this is not a new fad) and to not share or pass it on is why many new groups make the same mistakes as others have. Let's break the cycle and start to work together at any level. Hopefully this list will also assist the client in finding a group near them as well.
New O.P.I.N. Books Releases!
"Handbook For the Amateur Paranormal Investigator or Ghost Hunter: How to Become a Successful Paranormal Group", was released in May of 2008. This book was a lot of work, but I feel it's all worth it (thanks to my wife, Amy, for the editing help!). I'm very proud of this release as I feel it tells it like it is and is not about saying the right things to gain points in this field. If you're a new paranormal investigator or want to have a successful, long running team, I suggest you order this book.
My second book is also available and is a companion book to the first. "Betty's Ghost: A Guide to Paranormal Investigation", picks up on the investigation aspect where the first one left off. Betty's Ghost follows a fictitious case, based upon events I have investigated, from the initial contact to the case follow-up. It's an over-the-shoulder look at how I investigate cases and is based upon a tool I created for my investigators.
